	I guess a solution would be to save the text as ascii files then write 
them to a 800Ko HFS disk using a GS. You will then be able to read it on a
macintosh and translate it (at last!) to a PC ascii file using dos mounter or
apple file exchange ...
	I used this method backward to get some stuff for my apple II from the
net (I can only save the binsciied stuff in PC format from the net).

	Hope this helps ...
